As in a previous post I have this sten dewat I was going to put together the only piece I have seemed to have misplaced is the trigger assembly. I have some pics that you can see at the following URL. I just need some opinions whether it is worth it to put them on gunbroker.com and possible value and I would prefer to sell it as a package. Thank you in advance on your help.

  I don't think you have a dewat there... a dewat stands for deactivated war trophy... and usually these are papered and are worth nearly the cost of an unmolested transferrable machinegun. Unless you have registration papers you have a sten parts kit.
  
  Putting it together? How exactly do you plan to do that legally? Are you going to build a closed bolt semiauto out of it?
  
  Value? Search GB for closed auctions and that will give you an idea of value of these parts.

  If you go to the GB home page you will see a Smart Search link near the top of the page. Click on that, & search completed auctions for a parts set that appears similar to yours; that should give you a good idea of what it is worth.

  When I mean put togehter I meant just reweld it to use in WW2 reenactment but marriage side railed it I have no intention of trying to make this live again I do not think it could be with the damage to the reciever. But tahnks on the dewat info is there any value to a sten parts kit?
